The caravan won’t reach the United States for multiple weeks. So, why are we sending 5k troops down to the border on Friday? Perhaps because it’s a political ploy to whip up fear and then look strong. They’re trying to be play us for fools.

The Trump administration is building tent cities because the caravan is trying to enter the United States to get political asylum as refugees. Despite what’s said in speeches and tweets, they’re not trying to enter the US illegally.

Over the past three decades, successive American administrations have worked diligently to vanquish the anti-American DNA in Mexico.

It is being destroyed now.
